Have you heard of hemp seeds? I first learned of them a few days ago and then I looked them up on Amazon. Do you also look up new foods on Amazon? I immediately found many options. I thought it was really strange that I had never even seen hemp seeds in any of my health food stores before. Thanks to my Amazon Prime membership, I had my hemp seeds 2 days later and started to experiment with them.

I opened up the bag, and I was surprised. I thought these would be more seed like. The seeds tasted fine, but I could tell that they would be better in something else. They easily melted in my mouth as I ate them. We have experimented a few times: we added them to oatmeal, smoothies and rolled some no-bake cookies in them. They added a really nice flavor and packed in some extra nutrients as well.
The nutrition facts on the back of the package are excellent. You only need to eat 3 spoons a day to add a nice amount of Omega 3s to your diet. If you eat 3 Tablespoons of hemp seeds it is only 174 calories and 13 grams of fat, but only 1 gram of saturated fat. There are 11 grams of protein and high levels of iron, zinc, phosphorous and magnesium in just 3 Tablespoons as well. This one serving (30 grams) has 25% of your daily thiamin, 15% of your daily B6, 10% of your daily folate, 50% of your daily phosphorous, 50% of your daily magnesium, 20% of your daily zinc, 25% of your daily copper, and 110% of your daily manganese. These hemp seeds are power packed.

We experimented with many recipes to find the perfect hemp seed bread. My five kids taste tested each and every one. This recipe was the winner because the seeds really melted into the bread, and just tasted like a delicious healthy slice of bread.

I wrote this post 5 years ago. Time really goes by so quickly. We still love our hemp seeds and funny enough, we are even more addicted to Amazon Prime. Thanks for visiting and keep on eating your hemp seeds. I hope you enjoy this protein-packed Hemp Seed Bread.

I agree. Very useful information, but the first words in each definition are difficult to read. On my computer this font displays as a very bright, light green. Otherwise the site is excellent. Well done.

I was wandering how big a deal it would be to change the flour measurements.. Instead of 2 cups of whole wheat( using 1 Cup) and (2 cups) of white flour.. Reason being I had stomach surgery and I find that whole wheat breads are very heavy for my digestive system.. Would it change the outcome of the bread.. I realize the nutritional would change but what about the bread itself…

Always looking for new ideas of things to bake up in the kitchen. Nice suggestion you made with this recipe to keep in mind. Enjoyed reading through the post and learning about Hemp Seeds. The bread does look tasty!

As usual, I totally Google something else and wound up stumbling onto this page… So glad they I did tho! Lots off new information here and along the way. Can’t wait to try this recipe and see what other hemp seed recipes I can find!!!
